Industrial emissions in Java Island of Indonesia: a convergence analysis

This main objective of this study is to test emissions convergence, absolute and conditional, of manufacturing industry among provinces in Java Island as center of industrial activity and economic growth in Indonesia. Micro-data at firm-level of six provinces during 2000-2009 are employed and econometrics technique is applied to estimate dynamic model of the convergence. The statistical result shows that the emissions convergence, both absolute and condition, is not confirmed. In other word, emission growth among the provinces tends to be divergent. Other findings conclude that the industrial emissions growth is affected by economic growth and technique effect
